Thank you for providing the list and updates too. I note "Red Arrows" non appearance due to being in Greece for this weekend. Looking at the list, it is the same old unfortunately with the only "new" particpant being the Fortress "Sally-B"! Hopefully some "fresh/new" particpants will be added to give more interest compared with previous years.

Be interesting to see if the Sea Vixen manages to make it too after it's recent mishap

Hopefully some "fresh/new" particpants will be added to give more interest compared with previous years. I think with the announcement that should be coming soon of the Bronco for possibly the Sat/Sun of the display, we may see some other types flying up from Duxford. i.e B-17/Spitfire/P-51/Buchon display. Wouldn't it be good if Southport could entice some of the displays from Scampton i.e the the BAF F-16 which displays the week before or even the Breitling Jet team, not seen at Southport since the Team Khalifa days in 2002. Personally I have a feeling of a Vietnam type piece with the Huey/Loach/Bronco would be a fantastic addition with pyro's etc, does anyone know how the Huey/Loach team are getting on with the Cobra734?

Yes it would be nice if some other "displays" could be entice to visit Southport but that depends on the budget I suppose. However, with both the BBMF "Lancaster" and B17 "Sally B' around, just cannot help thinking the two flying together would be a nice (unusual) touch but could it actually happen? At the moment I am 50/50 with the airshow as I can find a way of seeing "Sally B" without attending I will do so but I must admit visiting this years International Air Tattoo in July is playing apart of possible non attendance.

I am looking forward to it as most of the participants never arrived on the Saturday last year like the Norwegian stuff due to bad weather further afield.

"Sally B" has now been confirmed as a flying particpant at the International Air Tattoo which I am attending which makes attending Southport Air Show even less attractive unfortunately. Still suggest the organisers need to mix the show up rather than usual format and participants.

Unfortunately the sea vixen is very badly damaged and will cost 2 to 3 million to fix. Unless some kind person coughs up the cash it is unlikely to fly again.

Bell UH-1H Iroquois BAC Strikemaster Mk82A Hispano HA112-M1L Buchon Supermarine Spitfire IX North American P-51D "Tall In The Saddle" Turbulent Display Team - Driune D31 Turbulent Team Raven
Not a bad little update over the past couple of weeks, always good to see the Huey back, but even better to see there will be a Buchon/Spitfire formation & the Strikemaster back after a few years absence from the show.

The Strike master is the Hawarden based machine G-SOAF so will operate from there.
